Make that apt-get dist-upgrade, I think you'll need to do that to get some bigger things up to potato level. (normal upgrade won't upgrade when a package has been split into multiple separate packages, e.g. xntp -> ntpdate, ntp or the netkit split. dist-upgrade will do everything it can to upgrade as much as possible, but it does make sure nothing has broken dependencies once it's all done.) BTW, before the upgrade would be a good time to backup the whole system :) -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X([EMAIL PROTECTED] , ns.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
